Don't Waste Your Time!

If you read the description of the book, you get the impression that contained within is 36 entire hours of transcribed Ted Bundy monologue, with some explanatory writing by the authors accompanying.
This is not the case.
Perhaps the first chapter and some of the second chapter are Ted's words, with help from Michaud, but from then on, there is only more explanation of Ted's crimes and everyone's reaction to it. If you have read The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule, then you know all this already. It gets extremely tiring to read chapter after chapter of information of which you are already aware.
The book features Ted's verbal reaction to these crimes periodically, but doesn't go into what he actually had to say about them.
Additionally, this version, published by Authorlink Press, has numerous grammatical errors, sometimes going so far as to change a whole word so as to make a sentence incomprehensible. I would say to try to get the Penguin Putnam version, if you can.
While the book wasn't terrible, it wasn't terribly good, either, and I thought- I'm sure that there should have been more transcribed interview material in the book. I wanted to know what TED was thinking and instead I got oversimplified summaries of his words by the authors and general descriptions of the crimes.
Not the best.
